Description

The farmhouse at Standon Lodge Farm dates from the early 18th century and incorporates elements from a possible 17th-century timber-framed house. It features large gable projecting chimneys and has an L-shaped rear extension added in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick with old red tiled roofs and is two stories high with attics, facing south.

The main structure is an L-shaped house with a two-story rear wing on the western half of the back wall. This wing extends further back, and a two-story attic wing has been built along the eastern part of the rear wall, featuring a roof that runs parallel to the front range and includes a similar gable parapet and a projecting chimney at the eastern end.

To the west of the original rear wing, there is a long single-story kitchen that is timber-framed, covered in dark weatherboarding, and has a steep tiled roof with a gabled stack and a red brick sill. The symmetrical south-facing front has three windows with a floor band, two flat-topped sashed dormers in the roof slope, and moulded flush box sash windows with six-over-six panes. The central entrance features an eight-panel door with a flat hood supported by heavy straight brackets. The lower windows have segmental arches.

At the southeast corner, there is a clasping buttress, and gable parapets adorn the structure. The western gable has a very large 17th-century projecting chimney with offsets, while the eastern gable features a smaller 17th-century projecting chimney with tumbled brick offsets. There is another entrance into the projecting gabled wing on the north front, which has two windows to the left. This entrance has a half-glazed panelled door within a doorcase that includes fluted pilasters and a flat canopy on fluted brackets. The sash windows have small panes and are recessed, with the ground floor featuring segmental arches and one triple sash window.
